This is a vintage World War II theater-made fighting knife, crafted by hand by a serviceman during the war. It features a solid 6-1/8” clip point blade, likely repurposed from a larger knife or military bayonet, and a distinctive stacked leather and aluminum handle with a matching aluminum pommel and guard. These handmade knives were carried by GIs and sailors in the Pacific and European theaters, often made in field workshops or aboard ships.

???? Specifications:

• Blade: Clip point, approx. 6-1/8”

• Overall length: 11”

• Handle: Stacked leather with aluminum spacers, guard, and pommel

• Sheath: Leather, likely original, included

???? Condition:

• Blade has visible age wear and patina, but remains solid and full

• Handle is tight and solid with no looseness

• Sheath is present and fits well but needs repair:

• Missing one button/snap

• Stitching has come loose in areas — would benefit from a visit to a leatherworker or tailor

• A great example of a genuine WWII handmade field knife

These are increasingly hard to find in complete condition. Whether you’re a collector of WWII militaria, custom knives, or American history, this is a solid piece.
